For a while, Lan Yu was completely stunned by Han Zeng.

He couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of this Han Dynasty general?

With hundreds of thousands of indemnities, can anyone still provide loans?

Just come to the chapter?

He really can't figure out the logic of the Han Dynasty!

So, I had to ask weakly: "What is the third point?" ”

Han Zeng looked at him and showed an extremely kind smile: "This third, it's simple......"

"Your lord must promise that from now on, Han merchants, Han people, and Han envoys will not be judged by the Xiongnu and any local laws, customs, and traditions in the Western Regions and other areas under your lordship, no matter what crimes they commit!"

"They must be handed over to the officials of the Han family to judge and judge!"

"Of course, we will invite your personnel to observe the trial, and your invited personnel have the right to raise objections to the trial results, and have the right to request a retrial, and even have the right to appeal to Tingwei, and Tingwei must reply!"

Lan Yu listened, and instantly felt that his IQ was really not enough.

Did the Han people, Han merchants, and Han envoys really dare to manage it in the Western Regions?

Since the Dawan War, who doesn't know that the people of the Han Dynasty are the existence of the day and the earth?

Even if it was a Xiongnu, if it was not necessary, they would not harm normal Han Dynasty merchants and envoys at will.

At most, it is just detention and house arrest.

Really kills people and even tortures and kills, basically no one has the courage anymore.

After all, if there are any people with a strong background among the people killed, even if it is just to let the people of the Han Dynasty know, who will hold it if they use this as an excuse to start a war?

Especially in the Western Regions, the countries of the Western Regions now treat the envoys of the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu envoys equally, they are all ancestors, and they are all good food and drink, and they dare not have the slightest neglect.

In Lan Yu's view, now, the conditions proposed by General Ying Yang are even good things for the weakened Xiongnu who are now weakened and divided.

The reason is very simple - those merchants and envoys of the Han Dynasty knew that the Huns and the local kingdoms in the Western Regions did not dare to harm them at will.

Therefore, as long as they get out of the Yumen Pass, they will dance and fly.

And these people, for the sake of money, do everything!

And there is nothing to fear them.

If, from now on, the envoys and merchants of the Han Dynasty can be handed over to the Han Dynasty for trial after they are arrested......

For the already weak Huns, there can at least be a statement to redeem their dignity externally.

Moreover, Lan Yu felt that those people were obviously more afraid of the officials of the Han Dynasty than they were afraid of the Xiongnu.

No way, who called the Huns that there were no laws, only rules?

The Han law is strict, like a spider's web, and the criminal law is strict, such as lava.

Thinking like this, Lan Yu couldn't help but feel moved.

I think this condition is really good, it can not only shake the pot, but also reduce trouble, and alleviate the conflict, which is really great!

It's just that......

The first two are really ......

Lan Yu knew that as long as he dared to agree, the only thing waiting for him when he went back was death!

And it is quite possible that his master, after taking his head and venting his anger on the others, continued to agree to these conditions.

Thinking of this, Lan Yu was unwilling.

But he can't help it!

Therefore, the purpose of his trip was to persuade the Han Dynasty to reach a compromise.

In order to give yourself a chance to breathe!

At least until the Xiongnu were reunited, recuperated, and had the strength to be qualified to overturn these agreements.

After thinking about it, Lan Yu only looked weakly at the Han Dynasty Jiuqing in front of him, and pleaded: "Your Majesty, your country has always prided itself on being a state of etiquette, and is famous all over the world for its benevolence, righteousness and generosity?" ”

"These conditions of yours are so aggressive and harsh, the little envoy thinks that they will hurt the reputation of your country and damage the holy name of your Son of Heaven!"

"Please think again!"

Han Zeng laughed when he heard this.

Zhang Anshi, Zheng Ji and other generals in the audience also laughed.

By now, everyone knows that the Xiongnu have weakened to the point where they don't even have time to do superficial work.

Think about it too!

War is the fastest drain on resources in the world.

Even though the Han family is huge, it was exhausted by last year's war, and the treasury was empty.

How good could the Huns be?

It is true that the Xiongnu did not need to pay military salaries to fight the war, nor did they need post-war pensions and resettlement.

Their army, except for the nobility, the rest is all cannon fodder.

However, as soon as the army moved, the rate of grain and grass consumption was several times or even more than ten times that of usual.

The army eats, drinks, and consumes ordnance, all of which require resources.

Not to mention that it also mobilized the servant armies of the countries of the Western Regions, so it further accelerated the consumption of resources.

Han Zeng made an estimate that last year's war should be about the same

The entire Western Regions heritage has been burned dry.

In today's Xiongnu Western Regions, it may be difficult to even gather enough food and grass for a war of 10,000 people.

And in the final analysis, war is fought about resources.

The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, there is no food, grass and resources, at least in the Western Regions, the war machine of the Xiongnu will be stuck!

This is also where Han Zeng's confidence lies in daring to open his mouth.

Therefore, he chuckled and looked at Lan Yu, shook his head and said, "The conditions I said, your lord must not change a word!" ”

"Otherwise......" he looked at the other party with a straight face: "I will take it from my own soldiers!" ”

"Don't say it's unpredictable! May the messenger ponder! ”

"To agree, or not to agree, the messenger can make up his mind!"

"Whether it is war or peace, your lord can be decided!"

Lan Yu was a little flustered and frightened by Han Zeng's staring.

He knew that if he let this General Yingyang lead the army to the battle, I am afraid that his master would not want to return to Mobei to fight for hegemony.

Whether or not he can save his life may be questionable.

Although, the regent has made a judgment, the current Han Dynasty should not have any savings to support large-scale wars.

But the question is - what if?

If the Han Dynasty people squeezed a little grain out of their belts and gathered an army of 20,000 or 30,000 horsemen to cross the Tianshan Mountains, the entire Western Regions would collapse immediately.

At that time, it will really be in response to what General Yingyang said - I will take it myself!

Lan Yu swallowed a mouthful of saliva violently, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, what do you mean, the little envoy knows, but the matter is serious, please let the general allow me to ask my lord ......"

Han Zeng nodded and said, "Give your lord a month!" ”

"Today, if your lord can't reply, then the general of the chariot cavalry will personally lead the army to the west of the Tianshan Mountains......" Han Zeng showed an intriguing smile and said softly: "Personally pay the debt to your lord, at that time, the conditions will not be so easy!" ”

Lan Yu hurriedly said: "The little envoy knows, the little envoy knows......"

At the same time, there was despair in his heart.

He knew that this matter, whether the regent agreed or not, represented the complete decline of the Xiongnu's hegemony and status.

The only difference is probably that the promise is to drink to quench your thirst, and the refusal is to die on the spot.

"I finally got the ......"

"The so-called man-made swords of the Han Dynasty people, I mean fish and meat......"

"The Huns, it's the fish on the chopping board of the Han people......"

Thinking of this, Lan Yu suddenly raised his head, looked at Han Zeng, bowed with a long bow, and said, "Under the general's feet, there is a matter, the little envoy wants to inform the general......"

"Messenger, please say ......"

Lan Yu straightened up, coughed, and then said: "The general may not know, last year, our army fought with your army, and there were Wusun cavalry in our army's sequence......"

"Its department is a 10,000 cavalry under the jurisdiction of Wusun Xiongnu, and it is a cavalry that has been allowed by Wusun Kunmo to come to the rescue......"

Han Zeng listened, and his smile gradually disappeared.

"The Knife Sect actually had followers before the Western Era?" Han Zeng sighed in his heart, but he was not surprised by the actions of the Wusun people.

Is there still a lot of things in history when major powers compete for hegemony, when a third country sticks a knife, fishes in troubled waters, and even fanning the flames?

You don't need to look at later generations, the entire history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is a history of great powers sticking knives into each other!

If one counts as one, they all wish that others would die, and they would be beautiful.

Especially the history of the late Warring States period, these things are vividly expressed!

Therefore, the actions of the Wusun people are logical.

Even, Han Zeng can speculate even worse about the behavior of the Wusun people - maybe, one day, this former quasi-ally will become an enemy of the Han family.

They might fight the Han army in the Western Regions with the Huns!

This is a geopolitical necessity!

Just like in the past, when the Han and Wusun faced a common enemy and rival Xiongnu, they could be good friends and have friendly relations.

Once the Han family passes through the Western Regions, the future of Han-Ukrainian relations will inevitably be uncertain and unknown.

Of course......

Han Zeng took a deep look at Lan Yu.

He knew that this Hun brought up this matter at this time in order to disgust and drive a wedge between Han and Ukraine.

In terms of knife teammates, the Huns are not bad!

Dead teammates don't die poorly, Han Zeng can understand.

How could Han Zeng be fooled!?

Usun, it's still useful.

Moreover, now, the Han family has not even collapsed the Xiongnu, and in fact does not have the ability and conditions to interfere, intervene or even attack Wusun.

Therefore, for what Lan Yu said, Han Zeng chose to go in his left ear and out his right ear.

He wouldn't even mention it to the Son of Heaven, he would just record it in cumbersome reports and stuff it into a corner.

Of course, not mentioning it now does not mean that you cannot use this as an article in the future

Chapter!

The enmity of Xianggong Fu IX, the Spring and Autumn Period!

If the Wusun people are not interested in the future, when the Xiongnu collapse, this incident is a sign of their demise!

"Envoy ......" Han Zeng said expressionlessly: "What you said, General Ben will investigate ......"

The Huns wanted to disgust him?

Han Zeng would not be disgusted in vain, so he deliberately dug a pit to give him some hope.

"If the investigation is clear, General Ben will send an envoy to Wusun to ask for the crime!"

Lan Yu was overjoyed when he heard this!

If you can provoke the Han to go to war with Wusun, it will undoubtedly be a great joy for the Xiongnu.

Not only can you get an ally for free, but you can also relieve yourself of a lot of pressure.

It is really blessed by the gods, and the ancestors have spirits!

But he didn't know that Han Zeng was also thinking of a crooked idea, and he was also planning to think of a way to intensify the contradiction between Wusun and the Xiongnu.

It's better to let them fight!

Even if you can't, deepen the contradictions between these two countries!

………………………………

In the early spring of Chang'an, the cold wind is still there.

However, spring has gradually emerged.

Imperial Doctor Wei Xiang looked through the car window, looking at the grass that had sprouted under the palace wall, and inexplicably wanted to laugh.

"Imperial Doctor ......" The carriage of Tian Yannian, the general of the Second Division, stopped next to Wei Xiang's car, lifted the curtain, Tian Yannian arched his hand and smiled: "Imperial Doctor is also here?" ”

"Hmm......" Wei Xiang nodded and said: "The general of the Che Cavalry pretends to be a messenger, talking about the internal strife of the Xiongnu, and His Majesty has summoned more than 2,000 stone in the court to discuss the ......"

Tian Yannian listened, a trace of sigh, a trace of remorse, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

If it had been known, the Huns would have died, and after their death, the internal contradictions of the Huns would have intensified to this point.

Why did the general come to the chariot last year?

What is the trouble of those thoughts, calculations, and schemes?

Obviously, he could lie down and win, but he chose the most difficult, bitter and difficult path to take.

It turned out to be messed up!

If it weren't for last year, there would have been no forcible promotion of the war, there would not have been so many fancy intestines, and there would have been no comparisons like that.

Now, Zhang Anshi can already sit and watch the mad dogs tear each other apart with a smile.

Then, lying down can reap all the honors.

You can even get the destruction of the Huns, at least it is the work of the Huns!

Now......

All thoughts, all calculations, all plans, are like a joke!

He, the general of the chariot and cavalry, is even more like a laughing stock!

But that's the best ending.

At least, Zhang Anshi is still a chariot general, his in-laws are still the imperial historians, and his subordinates and descendants still control countless official offices.

It's just that the work is overdone, and there is no room to continue to go up, so you can only sit and eat empty.

"Han Zeng is really lucky...... Wei Xiang couldn't help but feel a little jealous: "From now on, everything in the world will be decided by Han Zengye!" ”

"Doctor Goshi...... Shen Yan ...... "Tian Yannian hurriedly circled Wei Xiang's big mouth and continued-even if there are no outsiders here now, if it spreads, I am afraid it will be an uproar."

It may even become a weapon used by others to attack that Zhang Yingyang!

In the past, Tian Yannian didn't care about this, but now, he knew that he must not be easily involved in these disputes.

Because of his current strength, every little bit he consumes will be a little less.

Moreover, to exonerate Zhang Yingyang, it is almost self-defeating!

Wei Xiang pursed his lips a little indifferently, although he didn't speak again, the look on his face had betrayed him!

The whole winter of the past was like a torture for Wei Xiang.

His power, the Imperial Doctor, has been rapidly diminishing in this winter.

By now, it has even lost its effective control over the other Jiuqing.

The order of the Imperial Doctor's Mansion, unless there is the blessing of the Son of Heaven or the nod of Jiuqing himself, the other divisions will treat it as waste paper.

Even Zong Zhengqing dared not give him a look, and he dared to be yin and yang in front of him.

Later, Prime Minister Huo Guang couldn't stand it anymore and punished a few people, and the situation improved

But this improvement, that is, if the two sides do anything, they will not come to the Imperial Doctor's Mansion to report.

Instead, go it on your own, or go to the relevant people to solve it yourself.

He, the imperial historian, has become more and more a clay sculpture-like symbol.

This made Wei Xiang inevitably feel unbalanced, so he had to vent his thoughts in pieces.

Tian Yannian looked at it, shook his head slightly, and had no choice but to say: "Doctor Yushi, why don't I wait for me to enter the palace first to greet Your Majesty?" ”

Wei Xiang nodded and said, "It's okay!" ”

So, the carriage of the two slowly started and drove into the palace.
